King James Bible - 2 Samuel 19:2

SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:2

Y se volvió aquel día la salud en luto para todo el pueblo; porque oyó decir el pueblo aquel día que el rey tenía dolor por su hijo.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:2

Verse 2. The victory-was turned into mourning] Instead of rejoicing that a most unnatural and ruinous rebellion had been quashed, the people mourned over their own success, because they saw their king so immoderately afflicted for the loss of his worthless son.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 2. And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning unto all the people , etc.] They also mourned too, instead of expressing joy upon the occasion: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son ; this report was spread among them, which damped their joy, and hindered them from giving any tokens of it, as were usual at such times.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-8 - To continue to lament for so bad a son as Absalom, was very unwise, an very unworthy. Joab censures David, but not with proper respect an deference to his sovereign. A plain case may be fairly pleaded with those above us, and they may be reproved for what they do amiss, but it must not be with rudeness and insolence. Yet David took the reproof an the counsel, prudently and mildly. Timely giving way, usually prevent the ill effects of mistaken measures.
